A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that provides backup power to electrical equipment in case of a power outage or fluctuation. A UPS is essential for both CCTV cameras and recording equipment, as it ensures that the surveillance system can continue to operate and record without interruption or data loss. A UPS can also protect the CCTV cameras and recording equipment from damage caused by power surges or spikes. Connecting both CCTV cameras and recording equipment to a UPS is a requirement for data centres, as it enhances the security and reliability of the surveillance system.
